Shi Zi Teng, that tiny silhouette, transcended with the magnificence of a celestial deity, whose pupils exude mighty divine glimmers, slicing through the clouds like lightning streaking across the skies. At that moment, this little lad exuded an awe-inspiring presence; his dark hair flowing majestically against the wind, eyes flashing with electric force as though embodying an ancient sage reborn. With an unparalleled force, he sprang mightily beyond normal human limits, leaping higher even than the peaks reached by both Shi Yi and an adjacent ashen-brown mountain—an impossible miracle in the eyes of all spectators, marking the rise of an extraordinary genius who would overturn Shi Yi’s enduring record and instigate a seismic storm!
Soaring through the lofty expanse with ground shattered irreversibly; huge gaping fissures emerged below, countless beings hurled skyward through the explosion while others yelled panic-stricken. With another thunderous boom, lands collapsed as though devoured. It was beyond imagination that his landing force could crush the indomitable Adamantine Rock into dust fine as powder. It was still not finished as great cracks meandered for hundreds of meters on, causing lake waters to flood in forcefully, dousing many unexpectantly with their surroundings, “Is this still possible by human strength?” Multitudes soaked in water stood bewildered as the landscape changed. Shi Zi Teng stamped both feet resoundingly, invoking a cataclysm which sent the serene waters rampaging with chaos like roaring tempests. Another onlooker noticed first amidst the bedlam, “Look! Similarly extensive fractures exist under the lake—just as how Shi Yi’s ascension years ago must’ve instigated widespread lake inversion, revealing what lay buried.” At the lakebed a long hidden area surfaced under water pressure’s force revealing the past’s ancient truth, inciting awe:
“Oh dread!” The awe for both youths ran deep among observers. They now recognized a grave oversight in their initial decision to observe from nearby without obeying an earlier youth warning them—clearly such distance precautions had indeed been vital when faced by the might behind such mountain-shaking, earth-ripping leg strength capable of shifting lake positions. “Incredible! And still a mere youth, yet surpassing what once was deemed god-like. What will await this unparalleled genius as he ages—who possesses the strength to rival him hence?” Even seasoned elders, forgetting decorum momentarily, began shouting exuberantly skyward.
Above all this tumult, the figure reminiscent of golden-winged great eagles circled above a twin mountain summit where winds whipped his flowing obsidian hair; his depth-filled eyes remained locked to the distant horizon. The observers hesitated—wary of the aura transcending normal youthfulness, a daunting pressure radiating from within.
“The barrier’s gone! Impossible boundaries were shattered in a single stroke of magnificence!” Murmurs erupted everywhere. Beforehand, multitudes had approached merely from curiosity, never truly believing Shi Yi’s record could possibly fall, hence the astonishment etched upon all widened ‘o’-shaped gaping jaws now frozen there, disbelievingly.
A vision more shocking would scarcely surface—merely a child, yet achieving so early such unattainable greatness; with such brilliance how high might his future ascend? While the emotions surrounding such potential differed amongst them, many elders sensed a youthful renaissance reigniting their waning hopes with jubilatory hearts, witnessing a prodigy beyond compare.
Amongst other gifted contenders, several young cynics still cold before this event paled—recollections haunting of their own past humiliations by the once unchallenged genius now stinging more severely before this boy accomplishing effortlessly what none in their younger days did. In a moment, a five-colored phoenix erupted from glowing talismans encircling luminous halos into the air above toward the taller peak between the twin summits.
“Surely none other than Zhulian Valley’s Female War God!” It had been claimed how formidable yet breathtaking this warrior might be, explaining this title. Breaking through thick atmospheric veils, her presence was indeed dazzling, encased in armor of gold. Though armored, she still maintained elegance—a curvaceous bosom accentuating waistline that mimicked swaying willows atop powerful long legs. The shimmer radiating from armor and person alike bore ethereal beauty, a figure rare even in myth. The visage beneath the helmet revealed smooth, unblemished ivory skin, with perfectly shaped brows framing crystal eyes. Upon meeting little Shi she smiled, pearl white teeth flashing radiance.
“I invite you to join Zhulian Valley,” she declared boldly. A direct invitation from the female deity, perhaps expected considering the ambition that drove these mighty sects to seek supremacy across ages by gathering all potential prodigals into their folds—training either guardians or torch-bearers of legacy. In a rush of ethenic furs swirling glyphs, white-cladded ethereal women flew skyward astride beasts—a celestial entourage.
“Youthful companion, I beseech—join Healing Vault.” A wish shared, causing envious stirrings; both grand sanctified institutions vying eagerly for a single youth’s allegiance. Such prestige ensured the pinnacle support would be his within those institutions. Amid clamors of invitation came yet another aged elder riding a peculiar rock high overhead. “Ponder well such momentous decisions,” he advised wisely. Others interceded too.
In barely that flick, over a dozen groups offered enticing alliances. These were not minor sectlets easily disregarded, but the crème of ancient bloodlines and mighty institutions fully aware such rarefied potential warranted decisive actions.
Meanwhile, our youthful hero scratched puzzled brow, humbled and bashful—his demeanor seemingly pure but a portion doubted, notably those past victimized by trickery. Yet he hesitated outwardly: “Kind elderesses and wise seniors, I must ask that you allow me to take time ponder my answer.” Thus, deftly avoiding choices while preserving all relationships unscathed! These high-standing invitees understood, choosing honor above pressure as all withdrew.
Soon thereafter he fixed gaze again, pensive once more—an odd wistfulness tingeing his expression as though lost in unfathomable thoughts. “Child, to what depths your contemplations lead?” Inquired the wise man, wondering if shadows darkened his spirit. Shi Zi sighed softly.
“A thought escaped my notice…” His voice low. “Pray tell,” urged all present. He turned fiercely, exclaiming loudly— “I completely forgot! I intended gambling stakes earlier that I might succeed—yet forgot amidst pre-recording chaos.”
“Hunh!?” Shocking onlookers—how this solemn moment shattered instantly as all wished but to hurl their boot at the imp at realizing—his ‘worry’ had stemmed entirely over a squandered opportunity to profit by pre-recording!
Then whoosh went young warrior, flying forth the heights drawing a flurry retreat below—no repeated earthshock tragedies tonight. Thud. Ground exploded. Yet he stood whole—dust pats off and nonchalant he walked away beneath the rubble-stirring dust.
Coughs abounded. Soon, waves upon waves of news spread—the records fell. A luminant inscription materialized marking history anew; real-world empires and sects buzzed with excitement. A rising genius unparalleled; potential boundless.
“He broke three feats within one cycle!—Foremost among them showcasing such divine ability exceeding even that Shi Yi possessed. Truly a godlike milestone! Bring him forward; discover source and status to be honored within royalty halls.” This single act, though minor against grander scales, shook kingdoms from within—orders issued, resources allocated by each prominent figure—wagers placed upon such a youth’s possible future. “Investigate. Learn every secret—bring knowledge swiftly.” Similarly among others, Rain Dynasty figures soured at news—plotting their inquiries.
Yet again within virtual realms and ancient kingdoms alike—an uproated whirlpool stirred by his singular challenge. “Tracking origins appears elusive, for now watch his digital steps instead.” As crowds flocked to view the spectacle— “Hmmm? Why now does he perch atop that emerald boulder again, planning further mischief?” Murmurs filled the air just before—CRASHED! Light screens surrounded that area ominously once more.
“Could it be another assault on this channel?” As whispers ended, an epigraphy gleamed anew. Inscription read: **“Smashing initiation channel……Again…”**, followed with groans uncountable— “Unparalleled absurdity! Once more within a swifter time, how?” All stunned further, “Obtained yet another Precious Bone!” Again madness surged. For a child this absurd risking all against protocol rules solely to obtain artifacts, yet again rewarded—astonishment gave way to disbelief and frustration.
“Someone please punish this rogue!” But few found courage to answer. Then lo! Another record emerged; now smashing the Initial Zone’s memorial tablet. **Warning: Severe; Ejection pending for two cycles—beware repeat violations!** Again, he sullied with ominous clouds overhead. Amidst the universal uproar, laughter followed: “First of its type! The legend begins with expulsion itself,” echoing joyously.
Shunned by heavens with punishment looming—our prodigy faded dimly beneath his looming curse while protesting—yet again denied due process. In final moments, voices rang: “We’ll await your destined chronicle—a living legend never replaced!”
Two long spans; a time ripe with change, perhaps the greatest ever seen, was ahead.
